    DQDB is a distributed queue dual bus protocol for metropolitan area networks. It uses two unidirectional logical busses and a queued-packet distributed switch algorithm. DQDB works at the data link layer and provides connection-oriented, connectionless, and asynchronous services for data, voice, and video transmissions over distances up to 200 km at speeds from 34-150 Mbps using fiber or copper links. DQDB uses a distributed queue and fixed size cells transmitted in both directions to ensure first-come, first-served transmission between stations attached to the dual bus topology.

    What is DQDB?

    • Distributed Queue Dual Bus


    • DQDB is a DLL comm. protocol for MAN
    • Unlike FDDI, DQDB is an IEEE standard: 802.6
    • Designed for both voice & video
    • Topology used: Dual Bus - uses 2 unidirectional logical
    buses
    • Extend up to 30 miles at 34-55 Mbps
    • Uses optical fibre links
    • Queued-packet distributed switch (QPSX) algorithm

    Network Security
    About DQDB

    • Works on Data-link layer (specially in MAC sub-layer)


    • Used in data, voice and video transmissions
    • Used in data over cable services
    • Based on Cell Relay Technology (like ATM)
    • Provides connection-oriented, connection less services &
    asynchronous services

    Network Security
    Few technical facts of DQDB

    • Distance up to 200 KM
    • Medium: Copper or Fiber
    • At distance up to 160 KM approx speed is 44.73 Mbps
    (Copper)
    • At distance up to 100 KM approx speed is 150 Mbps (Fiber)
    • Transmission Rate: 34 Mbps to 150 Mbps

    Network Security
    DQDB Architecture

    • Each bus supports traffic in only one direction


    • Beginning of bus is denoted by a square and end by a triangle
    • Bus B traffic moves from right to left and Bus A traffic from left to
    right
    • Each bus connects to stations directly through input and output
    ports
    Network Security
    DQDB Architecture (Cont…)

    • The DQDB is composed of a two bus lines with stations


    attached to both and a cell (Empty slots) generator at the
    start of each bus.

    • The buses run in parallel in such a fashion as to allow the


    cells generated to travel across the stations in opposite
    directions.

    • The cell generator (head-end) is constantly producing


    empty cells consisting of fifty-three bytes (a five byte
    header and a forty-eight byte payload).

    Network Security
    Upstream & Downstream
    • As Bus A is configured
    • Stations 2 & 3 are considered to be upstream w.r.t station 1
    • Stations 1 & 2 are considered to be downstream w.r.t. station 3
    • As Bus B is configured
    • Station 2 & 3 are considered to be downstream w.r.t. station 1
    • Stations 1 & 2 are considered to be upstream w.r.t. station 3

    Network Security
    DQDB working

    • Head-ends generate fixed size cells in both directions (cell


    generators)
    • To transmit, a host must know whether the destination is
    to its right or its left
    • If right, the host must send on left bus

    • If left, the host must send on the right bus

    • A “Distributed Queue” is used to make sure that cells are


    transmitted on a first-come first-serve basis

    Network Security
    DQDB Cell Format
     Segment Type (ST): Identify the cell as one of the following:
    • Single Segment
    • First Segment
    • Intermediate Segment
    • Last Segment
     Message Identifier (MID): MID is the same for all DQDB cells from
    the same MAC frame. This allows the identification of intermediate
    segments.
     Information: Actual Data
     Length (LEN): The length of the information field.
     CRC: For error correction

    Network Security
    DQDB cell header
    Access Control Field (ACF):
    This contains the BUSY and REQUEST bits that are used in the
    operation of the DQDB. The BUSY bit indicates the cell is in use. The
    REQUEST bit is set in a cell by a node that is waiting to transmit.

    Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI):


    This is used to identify a virtual channel address.

    Payload type (PT): 1st bit Data or Control ; 2nd bit


    congestion.

    Cell loss priority (CLP): Retain / Discard on


    congestion.

    Header Error Control (HEC): CRC for the


    header.
